AC reverses the current in periods, and the current flows in 2 directions. 
DC only flows in one direction and is constant. 

AC is typically used to transfer power over long distances from a generator to your home, stepping it up after it's generated to send it over the distance, then stepping it back down so that it is usable in your home.

DC is used typically inside of devices, as it sends a certain amount of electricity through the wires.

Nicolas Tesla, was ripped off by Edison to replace his DC stations with AC instead. ^^

Calculate the maximum capillary rise/fall of mercury in a 0.5 mm radius glass capillary. Assume that the surface tension for mer
tekilochka [14]

Answer: 0.01 m

Explanation: The formulae for capillarity rise or fall is given below as

h = (2T×cosθ)/rpg

Where θ = angle mercury made with glass = 50°

T = surface tension = 0.51 N/m

g = acceleration due gravity = 9.8 m/s²

r = radius of tube = 0.5mm = 0.0005m

p = density of mercury.

h = height of rise or fall

From the question, specific gravity of density = 13.3

Where specific gravity = density of mercury/ density of water, where density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Hence density of mercury = 13.3×1000 = 13,300 kg/m³.

By substituting parameters, we have that

h = 2×0.51×cos 50/0.0005×9.8×13,300

h = 0.6556/65.17

h = 0.01 m

Can you help me with this paper please I will give you 20 points!
sweet [91]
1) they are attracting because if you look at the arrows they’re all pointing the same way.

2) if the magnet was turned around they would do the opposite and not attract ( this is called repulsion)

3) magnetic pole

4)magnet

5) magnetic force

6) magnetism

Hope this helps

How do I calculate speed, velocity, and acceleration? I need the formulas too
vodomira [7]
Speed is the secular unit, which means it only measures "how fast it goes."
speed= \frac{distance}{time}
Velocity is a victory unit, which means it measures "both how fast it goes AND the direction."
velocity= displacement/time
Acceleration is the change of velocity over time. 
acceleration =  \frac{change in velocity}{time}
